For some more concrete info on this:

[Welcome to the University of Chicago College Report Online](Welcome to the University of Chicago College Report Online)

If you scroll down toward the end, you’ll see the following quote: “… the fact that Chicago itself is up to a 3.3 (B+) average GPA and a 50 percent honors rate among graduates.”

This article was written in the late 90s. It’s safe to say that Chicago’s average GPA has risen since then, so I’d think it’s around a 3.4 now, with, as per usual, around 50% of the graduates receiving honors.

Also keep in mind, there is significant disparity within the ivy-range schools in terms of grade inflation. For information on specific schools and their average gpas, go here:

Here’s the info on a few of these schools from gradeinflation.com:

Princeton: Currently around a 3.3

Brown: Currently around a 3.61 (which is insane - Brown grade inflates and Brown students benefit from having a grading system with no + or - grades)

Dartmouth: around a 3.4
